Oversubscribed fund raised in four months

NEW YORK – Bregal Sagemount (“Sagemount” or the “Firm”), a leading growth-focused private equity firm, today announced the final close of Bregal Sagemount V (“Fund V” or the “Fund”) at $3.5 billion in capital commitments. The Fund was oversubscribed and closed at its hard cap, representing a meaningful increase from Fund IV ($2.65 billion).

Launched in Q4 2025, Fund V was raised in just over four months. Returning limited partners committed the substantial majority of capital to the Fund, while the Firm welcomed a select number of new institutional investors to its close-knit LP base.

"“We are grateful for the strong support we received from our existing and new partners in such a highly selective fundraising environment,” said Gene Yoon, Founder and Managing Partner of Bregal Sagemount. “Our approach of providing flexible capital and value creation capability has proven effective across market cycles, and we appreciate the companies and management teams that choose to partner with us. These successful partnerships are what enable the Firm to drive liquidity to our investors, and we are grateful to have earned the trust to manage their capital again in Fund V.”"

Fund V will continue Sagemount’s strategy of providing flexible, solution-oriented capital to durable growth businesses with high recurring revenues operating in end markets with uncorrelated secular growth characteristics. The Firm has served as the first institutional capital partner to bootstrapped companies 80% of the time, working collaboratively to accelerate value creation to address the unique needs of successful entrepreneurs.

"“Strong LP relationships have always been the foundation of successful fundraising, and that’s especially true when you pursue large, long-term capital allocators vs other regions/segments of the market,” said Shea Goggin, Head of Capital Formation at Bregal Sagemount. “Delivering liquidity and building deliberate relationships over many years enabled an efficient fundraise with exceptional re-up participation. We are humbled by our existing investors’ continued confidence and are pleased to welcome our new institutional partners to Fund V.”"
